in this case povetkin and atlas know he has no chance against wladimer. none what so ever. not now, and not in five months or five years. he has not displayed the skill set necessary to defeat wlad. Maybe he does have it.....but I doubt it. I think Adamek would beat the snot out of povetkin.
If its such an easy fight then why doesn't Wladimer accept the drug testing and beat him in the ring?
I 100% agree. Why does it seem like some fighters either take offence at the idea of drug tests or make a big deal about it?

There are many lines of work in which the occasional drug test is mandatory. These fighters should stop acting like a request for tests is a slap in the face, and they need to stop letting pride (or whatever) get in the way. They should know that once they take the tests and come out clean, that's an added plus for their reputation.
